Stockholders’ Equity

Stock-Based Compensation Plan and Warrants

The Company has a stock-based incentive plan which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  Refer to Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the 2013 Form 10-K for further information.  We recorded stock-based compensation expense of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In addition, the Company has shares outstanding that are subject to the completion of certain performance conditions.  In order to recognize the compensation expense related to these shares, the Company must assess at each reporting period whether it is probable that the performance conditions will be met.  These shares must also be re-valued at each reporting period until they vest.  At March 31, 2014, the Company assessed that it would not be probable that the performance conditions would be met for these shares and has not recorded any expense for the first quarter of 2014.

At March 31, 2014, total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards was $0.9 million.  This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.8 years.  There was no unrecognized compensation expense related to stock options at March 31, 2014 and 2013.  Proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of options for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 were zero and $9,150, respectively.  No options were granted in the three months ended March 31, 2014 or 2013.

At March 31, 2014, there were 288,193 and 4,500 shares of common stock covered by outstanding restricted stock and stock options, respectively.  All of the stock options were vested while the restricted stock has not fully vested.
